salterjd Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 TN AAU will be sending a Freshman / Sophomore Team to Iowa to compete in the National Duals. Last year’s team, under the direction of Jeff Roberts and Ben Smith, weltered their way into the Finals against Iowa and had everyone talking about how far Tennessee wrestling has come. We want to continue to build on the success that team had. This year we have added a new element to the team selection process. If you have a wrestler (Freshman / Sophomore ONLY) who wants to be on this team, please read this in its entirety. Team cost: $250 (estimate based on last year). Includes singlet, apparel package, bus, (wrestler also responsible for food and AAU card) Hotel Cost: Range $40-$120 based on choice (4 to a room, 2, to a room, or single room) Event Dates: Depart TN March 24th. Weigh-in on 25th. Compete 26th and 27th. Return to TN on 28th Weight Classes: 98, 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220, HWT. (2lb. NFHS Growth Allowance) Selection Process (very important must read): This year there will be an East/West Dual to select the team. Location: Independence High School Date: Feb 28th Weigh-in:9AM East Team Coached by Ben Smith West Team Coached by John Kramer Weights: Same weights listed above. There will be 5lb allowance. You will be expected to make scratch plus 2lb in Iowa. Example 106 can weigh 111 for the East/West Dual, but must be able to make 108 in Iowa (Iowa is a single day weigh-in). East / West Team Selection Process: - You must contact the coach of your region team NLT than the final day of the TSSAA region tournaments to express interest. - East Team will be made up of wrestlers from the Chattanooga / Knoxville AAU regions - West Team will be made of wrestlers from the Middle /West Tennessee AAU regions. If you’re unsure of our region just ask the coach! - Highest place at TSSAA state tournament in desired weight will be selected from their region - In case where a team has two wrestlers from different division (AAA and DII). Coach will see if there is an existing head to head. If no head to head, a wrestle off will be scheduled - Coaches do have selection preference as well. They will have one week to put this team together after state, so please know things will move fast.
